Chi Wen, a former policeman from the Huangyan branch of the Taizhou Public Security Bureau in Zhejiang Province, followed and secretly filmed his boss Zhou Xianghui committing adultery with a woman, and handed over the relevant evidence to the Huangyan District Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China. Instead, he was administratively detained for violating privacy.
Chi Wen refused to accept the punishment and sued the Public Security Bureau. The case has recently been heard in court; whether the privacy of public officials should give way to supervision has become the focus of controversy in this case.After the incident was exposed, Taizhou officials stated that they are further investigating and verifying Zhou Xianghui's related issues.
Sing Tao Daily quoted The Paper today (14th) as saying that Chi Wen had conflicts with Zhou Xianghui, the deputy director of the Huangyan Public Security Bureau at the time. He heard that Zhou Xianghui had an extramarital affair with a woman, so he decided to follow up and secretly film.
One night in May 2016, he came to Zhou Xianghui's residence alone, and installed a GPS tracker purchased from Taobao on the bottom of the bumpers of Zhou's two cars.
In July last year, Chi Wen reported Zhou Xianghui to the Huangyan District Commission for Disciplinary Inspection and sent clues about Zhou’s suspected violation of discipline. That is, from March to July last year, he photographed multiple scenes of Zhou Xianghui having sex with a woman in the underground garage of the villa area.video images.

In April this year, Chi Wen, who refused to accept the administrative penalty, brought the Huangyan Public Security Bureau to court.
Chi Wen believes that Zhou Xianghui's long-term improper relationship with women has violated the party discipline of the Communist Party of China. As a member of the Communist Party, it is a just act for me to give up my rest time to grasp a large number of illegal facts.
The case was opened in court recently. The Huangyan Public Security Bureau stated in the court defense that Chi Wen constituted an invasion of privacy and was sentenced to administrative detention for six days, which was an appropriate amount of punishment.
Hu Dingfeng, Chi Wen's attorney, believes that Zhou Xianghui, as the deputy director of the Huangyan District Public Security Bureau, went out to commit adultery during working hours, and may be involved in serious violations of discipline and law, such as power sex transactions and corruption of work style.It's not a personal privacy issue.The case will be sentenced at an optional date.
